You Beat Me To The Punch

[D]That day, I first saw you (whoa, w[Bm]hoa) passing by..
I [D]wanted, to know your name, but [Bm]I...was much too [A]shy.
But I was [D]looking at you so hard,
that you [Bm]must have had a hunch.
So, you [G]came up to me and asked me my name.

[G]You beat me to the [D]punch..that [Bm]time..
You beat me to the [D]punch..oh, oh, oh, [Bm]oh.
You beat me to the [D]pun.un.un.[Bm]unch..

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

[D]After..I had known you, for what seems like a long, long, [Bm]time.
I [D]wanted, wanted to ask you would you [Bm]please, please, be [A]mine.
Whenever [D]you came around, my heart would pound,
so, you [Bm]must have had a hunch.
So, you [G]came up to me and asked me to be yours.

[G]You beat me to the [D]punch..one more [Bm]time..
You beat me to the [D]punch..oh, oh, oh, [Bm]oh.
You beat me to the [D]pun.un.un.[Bm]unch..

Yeahhh...

[G]Since I loved you, I [A]thought you would be true and [D]love
me, [Bm]tender.
So, I [D]let my heart sur[Bm]render..to [D]you, yes I [Bm]did.
But [G]I found out, be[A]yond a doubt..one [D]day, boy,
you were a [Bm]playboy..who would [G]go away and leave me, [A]blue.

[A]So, I [D]ain't gonna wait, around for you to put me down.
This [Bm]time I'm gonna play my hunch..and [G]walk away this very day.
[G]And beat you to the [D]punch, this [Bm]time.
I'll beat you to the [D]punch, yes, I [Bm]will.

I'll [D]let you know, now..how great it [Bm]feels...(Fade.)
